A friend of mine bred her grey mare (who had only produced greys) to a grey stallion (Showkayce, I'm not sure if any of his offspring aren't grey..) and whoop! I liver chestnut baby. He's almost a year and still hasn't shown any signs of greying.

Off topic, but just goes to show you just never know ;)

Means both the mare and stallion were heterozygous grey (one copy of the grey gene), and the foal fell in the 25% chance of not getting grey.

What a pretty girl! She's got such a kind eye! Question for you, how did you find exact percentages for bloodlines like that? I have a filly that I want to see what lines she has but I'm at a loss as to how to find that out!

It was done before we got her. The lady who did the research is Eva Dano eva@meranch.com i'm not sure if that is a current e-mail or not. I'm sure there are other people who do it.
